Bravo!

I joke that I love to read, but only books that have electricity in it and use of cell phones.  This generally is the same for my tastes in movies. The more current and closer to modern day, the better.  Anything that is a period piece is not for me.  So you can imagine my surprise to find out how much I enjoyed the movie, "The Artist". 

This film had everything going against it in my opinion...silent movie, black/white and oh yeah, covering the time period of 1927 to 1932.  But you know what?  I loved it and couldn't get enough.  It was so well done and kept me entertained from beginning to end.

I was very impressed how the musical score was paired perfectly with every scene. The director really captured the feeling of what you were watching.  And despite not hearing the actors talk, their facial expressions were amazing and made you enjoy seeing what was happening on the big screen.

I love movies.  And there is nothing better than seeing a really great movie and leaving the theatre smiling from ear to ear. 

A very funny moment kicked off the movie watching experience:

I went to the movies with one of my preschool mom friends, Anna.  Right as the movie was beginning, the theatre went completely silent. The music hadn't started yet and you could hear a pin drop.  Of course, this is the moment that I let loose a very loud belch.  Oh my!  I am not one to belch, so this surprised me too.  hehehehee.  Anna and I started giggling and couldn't stop.  Hearing her laugh, made me laugh harder.  I really needed the music start playing NOW!  Fortunately once the movie got underway, I was able to pull it together and keep any further belching from occuring.  :)
